64 WBM 36 hours By Pat Bradford Photography by Alli{on Potter I am on assignment: Go to this small North Carolina town and scout it for a food shoot that encapsulates the locavore — farm to table — movement sweeping the country, as Americans realize the downside of eating big-box store food imported from half a world away. I exit I-40, past Raleigh and RDU; it has been an uneventful trip, more than two hours, but not fully three. The exit is innocuous, as is the approach to the town. A large sign indicates a new medical facility attached to one of the three nearby universities is under construction. As I drive past the usual small-town junkiness, the fast food, the car dealer, the banks, the car wash, I think, uh-oh, where am I going? Minutes later I breathe easier. As I cross the Eno River, passing the Weaver Street Market, I am in the historic district on the two-lane main street. may 2014
